About

Elected: 2012 (7th term; served 2008 to 2011 in former IL-14)

  • Background: Particle physicist at Fermilab, businessman, the only physicist currently in Congress
  • Committees: Financial Services; Science, Space, and Technology
  • District: Western Chicago suburbs including Aurora, Naperville, Joliet
  • Ukrainian American community: Present in the western suburbs, including Naperville and surrounding areas
  • Family / heritage: Illinois native, Harvard and University of Wisconsin physics

Bio Bill Foster is the only physicist in Congress and brings a technical, evidence-based approach to policy. He is a reliable yes on Ukraine aid and his science background gives him credibility on defense technology and cybersecurity.

Ukraine Record

  • Voted yes on every Ukraine aid package.
  • Has signed onto Democratic Ukraine letters.
  • Science and Technology seat gives him a voice on cyber and defense tech policy.

Advocacy Insight

  • Ask them to: Use his Science and Technology seat to support defense tech, drone, and cyber support for Ukraine, and sign onto the Ukrainian Adjustment Act (H.R. 3104).
  • Why it works with them: He responds to technical, evidence-based arguments. Framing Ukraine as a live laboratory for Western defense technology and cyber resilience appeals to his physicist's worldview.
  • Your connection: If you are in Naperville, Aurora, or Joliet, tell him the Ukrainian community in the western suburbs values his rigor and counts on his science voice.
  • Avoid: Vague moral arguments. Lead with specifics, data, and technical details.

Without this bill, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who fled the war and built lives in the U.S. face deportation back to an active war zone. This is the single most urgent protection for Ukrainians in America.

    Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], a constituent from [YOUR CITY/ZIP].
    
    I'm calling to urge Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] to cosponsor H.R. 3104, the Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2025.
    
    Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fled Russia's invasion and are now living in the U.S. on temporary status. They cannot safely return to an active war zone. H.R. 3104 gives them a path to permanent residency. It's bipartisan, it's targeted, and it's the right thing to do.
    
    Will Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] cosponsor H.R. 3104?
    
    Thank you.
